UConn’s own superstar player Paige Bueckers claims the foul call did not cause her team’s loss. “Everybody can make a big deal of that one single play, but not one single play wins a basketball game or loses a basketball game,” Bueckers told reporters after the game. “You can look at one play and say, ‘Oh, that killed us or that hurt us.’ But we should have done a better job.”
Still, many viewers celebrated Clark’s incredible strategy to run down the clock at the end of the game by bouncing the ball off Bueckers’ back.

“I’ve been watching from afar and understanding just how much of a power she is out there on the court,” Curry recently said of Clark on CBS Mornings. “The cool part is the way that she plays, and her range, and the level of difficulty on her shots is obviously a very close comparison to the way that I play.
